BY ROBERTA LEE
1. Should one use the most
ornate and flowery words he
nows when writing a letter?
2. What is the first test of
correct dressing?
3. Is it coraect to use candles
on the table for Christmas din-
ner, served at noon?
4. Should one cultivate the
friendship of a person who is al-
ways impertinent?
5. 1s it good manners for a
person to clear Ws throat with.
a harsh "a -hem"?
• 6. Which women should a man
seat at dinner, the woman on his
right or the one on his left?
Answers
1. Not unless such words are
really a part of your general
speaking vocabulary and it is
your practice always to use them.
Under ordinary circumstances,
such words in letters sound forc-
ed, unnatural and affected. Sim-
ple, correct language is always
in the best taste. 2. Comfort.
No style is good if it results in
discomfort. The second test is to
select color combinations that are
harmonious. 3. No. 4. No. Such
a friendship is not worth while.
Lasater writes: "Receive not sat-
isfaction for premeditated imper-
tinence, forget it - forgive it -
but keep him inexorably at a dis-
tance who offered it." 5, No. If
this is done intentionally, it is dis-
courteous; if unintentionally, it
is due to nervousness. 6. The
woman on lois right.

"Cases of. strabismus are us-

important that they should give
proper advice to the parents,"
writes A. Lloyd Morgan, M.D.•
(Hospital for Sick Children and
Department of Ophthalmology,
University of 'Toronto),• in The
Canadian Medical Assoeiation
Journal. The paper is based on
a series of about 800 cases tlt the
hospital, in which some surgical
procedure was done in about
twenty-five percent.
"Whereas, some years ago the
advice was: `Leave it alone until
they are fifteen and they will
grow out of it,' now it is generally
accepted." says Dr. Morgan, that
"treatment of strabismus should
be completed before school age'
so that the child is .not handicap-
ped by a physical defect which
might affect its whole life. Most
authorities are agreed that treat-
ment should begin early and if
an operation is necessary it
should be done before school age.
The chances of cure and good
binocular vision are much better
if this is done."

emphasis cannot be placed on the
importanoe of early treatment
and that no child should be allow-

tion is necessary, it should be
done before school age, and' is
much easier under general an-
aesthesia.

Raid

Norwegian Coast
With Fleet and Air Force,
Make Daring Thrust Against
Germany's War Machine
Eight enemy ships totalling
15,`'650 tons, oil tanks, ammuni-
tions stores and a Quisling -own-
ed industrial plant were destroy-
ed during a British raid tui the
small island of Vaagso, 100 miles
north of Bergen, Nor wee..
The raid was carried. out re-
cently .by a Commando for'•e of
the British Army, aided by light
forces of the Horne Fleet and it
the Royal Air Foram.
Vaagso is the assembly point
for German convoys carrying sup-
plies to the far northern front its
Russia and an officer who took
part in the raid said the destruc-
tion of shipping had harmed (Mer-
man communications to that
front,
The entire German gnl'risor on
an island involved in the attack
was captured or killed.
An enemy tank was put out oe
action and an oil tank and an:-
munition
n:mu ition stores were destroyed.
A. wireless station and :t certain
industrial plant owned by a Quis-
ling and known to be optitatinr
for the Germans were deetr'nyed.
An 'fifficer of the combieetl op-
erations headquarters taid the
German casualties totalled 120
men and 95 prisoners were taken.
A number of Norwegian civil-
ians returned with the ,(.'ommand-
Os.
The Commaitdos sui'l'ered
"some casualties" but the laid was
called a complete success.
Although on a small scale, th's
raid was a good example of the
combined operation in which the
Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air
Force each peered an equally im-
portant and interdependent part.

ROYAL I.''ANK OF CANADA
' FIGURES AT NEW PEAK
Total Assets Reach Record of $1,075,000,000
Profits Slightly Higher
The Annual Balance Sheet and
Profit and Loss Account of The
Royal Bank of Canada for the
year ending November 29, 1941,
was issued to the shareholders
and shows substantial gains under
practically all important headings.
Assets increased almost $120,-
000,000 and have reached the re-
cord total of $1,075,000,000. As
usual, the liquid position is strong,
with quickly realizable assets to-
talling $681,918,309. This rep-
resents 69.56% of the bank's lia-
bilities to the public, Included in
this total of Liquid Assets are
notes of and deposits with the
Bank of Canada of $86,542,227,
Cash and Bank Balances of $101,-
285,122 and Dominion and Pro-
vincial Securities valued at $371,-
231,959.
Total public deposits likewise
reached a new high figure of
$902,000,000, an increase, during
the year of 897,546,12t. In spite
of a large volume of withdrawals
for the purchase of Vietoly Beads
last summer, public savings in
Canada, it is understood, have
since not only regained their lee-
vious high point, but a' tuelev
show an increase over the lig l ea
of a year ago.
Commercial loans in flane t e
during the period under rev; lir,
totalled $241,782,`;16 as coz.rpa:ea,
with $229,431,217 shown in the
previous year. Cali Imus are ug.,

Raid Shelters On
Wruce House Lawn
Whiie Winston Churchill and
F. D. R. talked things over in the
White House, steam -shovels were
busy uprooting the lawn outside.
Once it was a pleasant lawn, a fa-
mous lawn -a lawn as big as a
farm and as smooth as the felt on
a billiard table.
Now it was scarred with deep
holes that were getting bigger and
deeper --- excavations foe an air
raid shelter and thousands who
passed louked at the ht•lee. They
rel tembered the lawn and Easter
and the kids uho used to roll Eas-
ter eirgs.
When Easter came, halt the
youngsters in Washington, from
the tenements and the mansions
l a
alike, tt c would turn up in the presi-
dent's front yard.. The gathering
was traditional, and the; lawn the
children romped en was a eylnbol.
It was a symbol of democracy,
because here a ragged urchin
could exchange greetings, man to
pian, with the leader of a mighty
nation.
